Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions his Department has had with Emergency Contingency Planning Departments or Emergency Planning Officers regarding the planned storage of US nuclear weapons at USAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.
The Ministry of Defence is unable to comment on US spending decisions and capabilities, which are a matter for the US Government. It remains longstanding UK and NATO policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at a given location.
